Enrique Rubio and I share a favorite quote:
"you can't solve problems from the same level of thinking that created them." Albert Einstein
I was interested to bring Enrique onto the show because he has great depth of knowledge in understanding perplexing challenge unique to our generation. How do we in the Western World who live in a World of Abundance solve complex problems in the developing world? How do we deploy exponential technologies in a sustainable way that makes the lives of others better? How do we approach solving complex problems.
